Second video of the Behind the BusinessSeries.
Bayer is a German multinational chemical, pharmaceutical and life sciences company. Bayer's primary areas of business include human and veterinary pharmaceuticals; consumer healthcare products; agricultural chemicals and biotechnology products; and high value polymers.
Bayer's first and best known product was aspirin. Bayer trademarked the name "heroin" for the drug diacetylmorphine and marketed it as a cough suppressant and non-addictive substitute for morphine from 1898 to 1910.
It was part of IG Farben, the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical company, from 1925 to 1952. During World War II, IG Farben used slave labor in factories that it built adjacent to German concentration camps, notably Auschwitz. After World War II, the Allies broke up IG Farben and Bayer reappeared as an individual business "inheriting" many of IG Farben's assets.
In May 2016, Bayer offered to buy U.S. seeds company Monsanto for $62 billion. Bayer attempted to purchase Monsanto again for $66 billion in September 2016, Monsanto accepted this bid and the merger is pending approval.

Mike Papantonio discusses the factors that led to the current opioid crisis in the U.S. and speaks with attorney Jeff Gaddy about a lawsuit being brought by the Cherokee Nation against several pharmaceutical companies.

The heroin addiction epidemic in America is explored, from the influx of Oxycontin and the push from big pharma to expose patients to the opiate derived drug, to the Mexican drug cartels that have flooded the black market with heroin to a conditioned population. The similarities in business models between Purdue pharmaceuticals, the Slacker family, and “El Chapo” Guzman, plus how corporate liability is harder to prosecute than their criminal counterparts is illuminated with author Jason Smith, in this uncensored Lip News interview, hosted by Jackie Koppell.

A Look Back At Old-Time Medicine
Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/9CwQhg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
When we are ill, we go to a doctor for treatment. We have a certain amount of confidence and security when seeing a doctor because they have gone through years of medical school and are considered to be experts in their field. While medical malpractice is something that happens occasionally, it can be confidently stated that doctors nowadays pretty much know what they’re doing. It can be comforting to think about the destination, but it’s disturbing to think about the journey. Doctors were not always as competent as they are today, and medical practices have been fine-tuned due to trial and error.
Back in medieval times, it was believed that blood was the cause of many diseases and illnesses, and one of the most popular health treatments was a practice called, “bloodletting” which involved cutting a vein or leeching an arm and letting their blood pour out into a bowl. Of course, today we know that blood is crucial to life, health, and survival. In this same time period when the bubonic plague was spreading, because it was believed it could be caught by smelly vapors, doctors were recommended to people that they use a “therapeutic stink” to combat the illness. This involved smell feces and farts (which they kept in jars).
Drugs that we would consider to be highly illegal today were used as medical treatments up until the mid-twentieth century. Heroin was a popular treatment, with the term coined by Bayer, and used in cough syrup. Bayer marketed their heroin cough syrup as non-addictive. The product took off with such popularity (gee, we wonder why), that there were elixirs, tablets, and laced water put out on the market to meet demand. Speaking of ingredients that probably weren’t a good idea, radioactive water was believed to stimulate cells, prevent aging, and help cure common ailments. Today, we know better, but the water was sold and even used in chocolates, contraceptives, suppositories, and toothpaste. Finally, mercury was a common medication prescribed, despite the fact that numerous patients died from organ failure caused by mercury poisoning.
Then we have old time medical treatments that just make us scratch our heads. Methods like the “whirling chair”, which involved spinning the patient until they passed out, was believed to help cure mental illnesses but repositioning and changing the pattern of the brain. Human organs were also used as medical treatments. Crushed skull was used as spot treatment for headaches and human fat was used as a remedy for muscle pain. Finally, we have the barbaric practice of the lobotomy. A man by the name of Walter Freeman developed the ice pick lobotomy as a treatment for mental illnesses, and the practice was forced upon numerous mental patients. While a few supposedly got better after the procedure, the majority of the victims were permanently changed and struggled to live and adapt to society after the surgery.
Today, we can be glad that none of these medical practices are no longer conducted. But, we have to wonder, will people of the future be laughing at how we treated our medical ailments and call us barbaric one day?

Senior (album)

Senior is the fourth studio album by Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp, released on 8 September 2010 by Wall of Sound. Consisting of instrumental tracks only, the album is described as more introspective and withdrawn than its predecessor, Junior (2009). The CD's final track "A Long, Long Way" also includes the hidden track "The Final Day", which is available as a separate track on the iTunes Store.

The album debuted at number 33 on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 3,864 copies.Senior spawned two singles: "The Drug" and "Forsaken Cowboy".

Background

Senior is intended to be an introspective, withdrawn, atmospheric counterpart to the "bubbly dance grooves" of Junior (2009), with Röyksopp stating it has a more "autumn mood" to it, in contrast to Junior's "spring feel". In an interview with KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, Svein Berge dubbed Senior "the senile sibling of Junior who lives in the attic". Berge cited "The Alcoholic" as a standout track, explaining that they had "this romantic, nostalgic idea based on this hobo who hitchhikes on trains and travels from place to place".

Oliver has said that he has full creative freedom, including free rein to criticize corporations. His initial contract with HBO was for two years with an option for extension. In February 2015, it was announced that the show has been renewed for two additional seasons of 35 episodes each. Oliver and HBO programming president Michael Lombardo have discussed extending the show from half an hour to a full hour and airing more than once a week after Oliver "gets his feet under him".

Opiods are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year making them the most lethal drugs in America. For many, what starts as a prescription for legitimate illnesses quickly becomes an addiction to drugs marketed as "non-addictive" by big pharmaceutical companies. "I knew people that were just going to doctors, multiple doctors, and getting crazy amounts of pills", says former addict Danny Haley. Like many others, he became hooked on the legal drugs containing oxycodone, which make these painkillers very similar to heroin. When the authorities cracked down on easy prescriptions, heroin addiction quickly took its place. From 2010 to 2012, Heroin related deaths increased 84% in New York City. Staten Island in New York was one of the first areas of modern American suburbia. Now it has one of the worst prescription drug problems in the US. Getting hold of heroin here is not only cheaper than sourcing opiate-based painkillers, it's just as quick and easy as ordering a pizza. A pattern of people with no history of drug abuse killed by their addictions has prompted outrage and lingering questions on the role of some doctors and pharmaceutical companies' role in the epidemic.

PrescriptionDrugsDocumentary 2017 : The TRUTH Behind Pharmaceutical Drugs! Must WatchPrescription drugs, like xanax, zantac, vicodins and others,are often prescribed by doctors to treat a variety of health issues; but theres a dark side to these pills.
These are highly addictive and many patients can’t stop using them, and it gets worse - because these pills are often

Heroin Documentary
Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring opiate extracted from the seedpod of certain varieties of poppy plants. The opium poppy has been cultivated for more than five thousand years for a variety of medicinal uses.
Heroin was first synthesized from morphine in 1874. From 1898 through to 1910, Bayer, the German pharmaceutical company, marketed it under the trademark name Heroin as a cough suppressant and as a non-addictive morphine substitute (until it was discovered that it rapidly metabolizes into morphine). One year after beginning sales, Bayer exported heroin to 23 countries
Heroin Facts:
People who use heroin regularly are likely to develop a physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms (“cold turkey”) may begin within 6 to 24 hours of discontinuation of the drug; however, this time frame can fluctuate with the degree of tolerance as well as the amount of the last consumed dose. Symptoms may include sweating, anxiety, depression, chills, severe muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Street heroin is rarely pure and may range from a white to dark brown powder of varying consistency. Such differences typically reflect the impurities remaining from the manufacturing process and/or the presence of additional substances. These "cuts" are often sugar, starch, powdered milk and occasionally other drugs, which are added to provide filler.
Heroin is manufactured from opium poppies cultivated in four primary source areas: South America, Southeast andSouthwest Asia, and Mexico. Although Afghanistan produces the majority of the world's heroin, South American heroin has become the most prevalent type available in the U.S., particularly in the Northeast, South and Midwest. The particular form known as "black tar" from Mexico, a less pure form of heroin, is more commonly found in the western and southwestern United States. This heroin may be sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal, with its color varying from dark brown to black.
The chance of surviving an overdose, like that of surviving a heart attack, depends greatly on how fast one receives medical assistance. Multiple studies show that most deaths actually occur one to three hours after the victim has initially ingested or injected drugs. The time that elapses before an overdose becomes a fatality presents a vital opportunity to intervene and seek medical help. The best way to encourage overdose witnesses to seek medical help is to exempt them from arrest, an approach often referred to as 911Good Samaritan immunity laws.
The use of "dirty" or shared needles when injecting heroin can spread deadly infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Injecting drugs and/or sharing needles can contribute to other diseases and conditions that may be serious or even life threatening, including endocarditis, embolism or blood clot, botulism, tetanus, and flesh-eating bacteria. Finally, injecting may cause abscesses (a painful skin inflammation) that, in turn, may result in blood poisoning.

Gwen Olsen — INDUSTRY’S INFLUENCE IN MEDICINE DUPED, DOPED AND DYING IN AMERICA
On December 2, 2004, Gwen Olsen's niece Megan committed suicide by setting herself on fire-and ended her tortured life as a victim of the adverse effects of prescription drugs. Gwen Olsen offers an honest glimpse into alarming statistics and a health care system ranked last among nineteen industrialized nations worldwide. As a former sales representative in the pharmaceutical industry for several years, Olsen learned first hand how an unprecedented number of lethal drugs are unleashed in the United States market, but her most heartrending education into the dangers of antidepressants would come as a victim and ultimately, as a survivor. Gwen Olsen shares one woman's unforgettable journey of faith, forgiveness, and healing.

STAY AWAY FROM SUBUTEX/SUBOXONE!!! PHARMACEUTICAL HEROINE YOU MIGHT NOT ESCAPE

Today was rough, but it's times like this that that will remind me to never go back, after treatment. if you have a pain pill addiction never switch to subutex/suboxon. It is 100% easier to get off the pain pills, then it is subs. The withdrawals (PAWS) last for several of weeks. They are very very very uncomfortable. I know most people won't take my advice, because addiction controls you if you are in the opiate game, but please think twice. Yoy will hate your life after a while. Happiness will be little to none. Subs block that feeling in your brain. Making it very hard to feel pure joy, and happiness. :(

Description:
When we are ill, we go to a doctor for treatment. We have a certain amount of confidence and security when seeing a doctor because they have gone through years of medical school and are considered to be experts in their field. While medical malpractice is something that happens occasionally, it can be confidently stated that doctors nowadays pretty much know what they’re doing. It can be comforting to think about the destination, but it’s disturbing to think about the journey. Doctors were not always as competent as they are today, and medical practices have been fine-tuned due to trial and error.

The heroin addiction epidemic in America is explored, from the influx of Oxycontin and the push from big pharma to expose patients to the opiate derived drug, to the Mexican drug cartels that have flooded the black market with heroin to a conditioned population. The similarities in business models between Purdue pharmaceuticals, the Slacker family, and “El Chapo” Guzman, plus how corporate liability is harder to prosecute than their criminal counterparts is illuminated with author Jason Smith, in this uncensored Lip News interview, hosted by Jackie Koppell.

Description:
When we are ill, we go to a doctor for treatment. We have a certain amount of confidence and security when seeing a doctor because they have gone through years of medical school and are considered to be experts in their field. While medical malpractice is something that happens occasionally, it can be confidently stated that doctors nowadays pretty much know what they’re doing. It can be comforting to think about the destination, but it’s disturbing to think about the journey. Doctors were not always as competent as they are today, and medical practices have been fine-tuned due to trial and error.
Back in medieval times, it was believed that blood was the cause of many diseases and illnesses, and one of the most popular health treatments was a practice called, “bloodletting” which involved cutting a vein or leeching an arm and letting their blood pour out into a bowl. Of course, today we know that blood is crucial to life, health, and survival. In this same time period when the bubonic plague was spreading, because it was believed it could be caught by smelly vapors, doctors were recommended to people that they use a “therapeutic stink” to combat the illness. This involved smell feces and farts (which they kept in jars).
Drugs that we would consider to be highly illegal today were used as medical treatments up until the mid-twentieth century. Heroin was a popular treatment, with the term coined by Bayer, and used in cough syrup. Bayer marketed their heroin cough syrup as non-addictive. The product took off with such popularity (gee, we wonder why), that there were elixirs, tablets, and laced water put out on the market to meet demand. Speaking of ingredients that probably weren’t a good idea, radioactive water was believed to stimulate cells, prevent aging, and help cure common ailments. Today, we know better, but the water was sold and even used in chocolates, contraceptives, suppositories, and toothpaste. Finally, mercury was a common medication prescribed, despite the fact that numerous patients died from organ failure caused by mercury poisoning.
Then we have old time medical treatments that just make us scratch our heads. Methods like the “whirling chair”, which involved spinning the patient until they passed out, was believed to help cure mental illnesses but repositioning and changing the pattern of the brain. Human organs were also used as medical treatments. Crushed skull was used as spot treatment for headaches and human fat was used as a remedy for muscle pain. Finally, we have the barbaric practice of the lobotomy. A man by the name of Walter Freeman developed the ice pick lobotomy as a treatment for mental illnesses, and the practice was forced upon numerous mental patients. While a few supposedly got better after the procedure, the majority of the victims were permanently changed and struggled to live and adapt to society after the surgery.
Today, we can be glad that none of these medical practices are no longer conducted. But, we have to wonder, will people of the future be laughing at how we treated our medical ailments and call us barbaric one day?

Opiods are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year making them the most lethal drugs in America. For many, what starts as a prescription for legitimate illnesses quickly becomes an addiction to drugs marketed as "non-addictive" by big pharmaceutical companies. "I knew people that were just going to doctors, multiple doctors, and getting crazy amounts of pills", says former addict Danny Haley. Like many others, he became hooked on the legal drugs containing oxycodone, which make these painkillers very similar to heroin. When the authorities cracked down on easy prescriptions, heroin addiction quickly took its place. From 2010 to 2012, Heroin related deaths increased 84% in New York City. Staten Island in New York was one of the first areas of modern American suburbia. Now it has one of the worst prescription drug problems in the US. Getting hold of heroin here is not only cheaper than sourcing opiate-based painkillers, it's just as quick and easy as ordering a pizza. A pattern of people with no history of drug abuse killed by their addictions has prompted outrage and lingering questions on the role of some doctors and pharmaceutical companies' role in the epidemic.

HeroinThe Drug: Heroin Secrets
Heroin Documentary
Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring opiate extracted from the seedpod of certain varieties of poppy plants. The opium poppy has been cultivated for more than five thousand years for a variety of medicinal uses.
Heroin was first synthesized from morphine in 1874. From 1898 through to 1910, Bayer, the German pharmaceutical company, marketed it under the trademark name Heroin as a cough suppressant and as a non-addictive morphine substitute (until it was discovered that it rapidly metabolizes into morphine). One year after beginning sales, Bayer exported heroin to 23 countries
Heroin Facts:
People who use heroin regularly are likely to develop a physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms (“cold turkey”) may begin within 6 to 24 hours of discontinuation of the drug; however, this time frame can fluctuate with the degree of tolerance as well as the amount of the last consumed dose. Symptoms may include sweating, anxiety, depression, chills, severe muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Street heroin is rarely pure and may range from a white to dark brown powder of varying consistency. Such differences typically reflect the impurities remaining from the manufacturing process and/or the presence of additional substances. These "cuts" are often sugar, starch, powdered milk and occasionally other drugs, which are added to provide filler.
Heroin is manufactured from opium poppies cultivated in four primary source areas: South America, Southeast andSouthwest Asia, and Mexico. Although Afghanistan produces the majority of the world's heroin, South American heroin has become the most prevalent type available in the U.S., particularly in the Northeast, South and Midwest. The particular form known as "black tar" from Mexico, a less pure form of heroin, is more commonly found in the western and southwestern United States. This heroin may be sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal, with its color varying from dark brown to black.
The chance of surviving an overdose, like that of surviving a heart attack, depends greatly on how fast one receives medical assistance. Multiple studies show that most deaths actually occur one to three hours after the victim has initially ingested or injected drugs. The time that elapses before an overdose becomes a fatality presents a vital opportunity to intervene and seek medical help. The best way to encourage overdose witnesses to seek medical help is to exempt them from arrest, an approach often referred to as 911Good Samaritan immunity laws.
The use of "dirty" or shared needles when injecting heroin can spread deadly infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Injecting drugs and/or sharing needles can contribute to other diseases and conditions that may be serious or even life threatening, including endocarditis, embolism or blood clot, botulism, tetanus, and flesh-eating bacteria. Finally, injecting may cause abscesses (a painful skin inflammation) that, in turn, may result in blood poisoning.

HeroinThe Drug: Heroin Secrets
Heroin Documentary
Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring opiate extracted from the seedpod of certain varieties of poppy plants. The opium poppy has been cultivated for more than five thousand years for a variety of medicinal uses.
Heroin was first synthesized from morphine in 1874. From 1898 through to 1910, Bayer, the German pharmaceutical company, marketed it under the trademark name Heroin as a cough suppressant and as a non-addictive morphine substitute (until it was discovered that it rapidly metabolizes into morphine). One year after beginning sales, Bayer exported heroin to 23 countries
Heroin Facts:
People who use heroin regularly are likely to develop a physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms (“cold turkey”) may begin within 6 to 24 hours of discontinuation of the drug; however, this time frame can fluctuate with the degree of tolerance as well as the amount of the last consumed dose. Symptoms may include sweating, anxiety, depression, chills, severe muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Street heroin is rarely pure and may range from a white to dark brown powder of varying consistency. Such differences typically reflect the impurities remaining from the manufacturing process and/or the presence of additional substances. These "cuts" are often sugar, starch, powdered milk and occasionally other drugs, which are added to provide filler.
Heroin is manufactured from opium poppies cultivated in four primary source areas: South America, Southeast andSouthwest Asia, and Mexico. Although Afghanistan produces the majority of the world's heroin, South American heroin has become the most prevalent type available in the U.S., particularly in the Northeast, South and Midwest. The particular form known as "black tar" from Mexico, a less pure form of heroin, is more commonly found in the western and southwestern United States. This heroin may be sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal, with its color varying from dark brown to black.
The chance of surviving an overdose, like that of surviving a heart attack, depends greatly on how fast one receives medical assistance. Multiple studies show that most deaths actually occur one to three hours after the victim has initially ingested or injected drugs. The time that elapses before an overdose becomes a fatality presents a vital opportunity to intervene and seek medical help.

Today was rough, but it's times like this that that will remind me to never go back, after treatment. if you have a pain pill addiction never switch to subutex/suboxon. It is 100% easier to get off the pain pills, then it is subs. The withdrawals (PAWS) last for several of weeks. They are very very very uncomfortable. I know most people won't take my advice, because addiction controls you if you are in the opiate game, but please think twice. Yoy will hate your life after a while. Happiness will be little to none. Subs block that feeling in your brain. Making it very hard to feel pure joy, and happiness. :(

In 1998, the antiretroviral drug efavirenz was approved for treatment of HIV infection. Though the drug was highly effective, patients soon began to report bizarre dreams, hallucinations, and feelings of unreality. When South African tabloids started to run stories of efavirenz-motivated rapes and robberies, scientists began to seriously study how efavirenz might produce these unexpected hallucinogenic effects.
Hamilton Morris travels to South Africa to interview efavirenz users and dealers and study how the life-saving medicine became part of a dangerous cocktail called "nyaope."

HEROIN at Home: Rise of Opiate Use in Minnesota

A resurgence of heroin use, complicated by prescription pain-killer abuse, has dramatically risen in the last few years. The consequences, including a number of overdose deaths, have devastated a range of communities across Minnesota.
This half-hour documentary explores some of the history, science, and social factors of opiate addiction. The voices of those in treatment and recovery are woven into analysis from some of Minnesota's leading thinkers on the deadly rise of heroin and opiate use in the state.
Co-produced by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and Twin Cities Public Television.

How they deliberately covered up and said it wasn't addictive. How they persuaded Doctors to continue prescribing OxyContin by buying their way into their pockets with money, gifts, expensive dinner and trips.
It was touted as a miracle pill: a narcotic pain reliever that could change the lives of people suffering from chronic pain, but with little -- so its maker claimed, and thousands of doctors believed -- risk of addiction.
Since OxyContin was introduced in 1996, Canada has recorded the second-highest number of prescription opioid painkiller addictions -- and the world's second-highest death rate from overdoses.

Opioid Wars - Fault Lines

Behind the recent flurry of headlines about a massive surge in heroin use is a much more widespread wave of addiction to legal opioids—OxyContin, Vicodin and other painkillers.
One recent study found that 4 in 5 heroin users previously abused prescription opioids. In the last 15 years, at least 100,000 people have died from prescription opioid abuse.
Last fall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a powerful, new painkiller called Zohydro, a pure form of hydrocodone that contains five to 10 times the opiate level of Vicodin. The FDA approved Zohydro even though its own advisory committee voted 11 to 2 against approval, citing the drug’s potential to exacerbate the opioid abuse epidemic.

One of the major benefits of cannabis over pharmaceuticals is that it is not as addictive as most pain and anti-convulsive medication are. Many people cannot handle the very powerful man-made drugs that are generally prescribed for chronic conditions, like fentanyl, oxycontins, morphine and anti-convulsive medication. The side effects of these strong drugs are also cause for concern.

Opiods are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year making them the most lethal drugs in America. For many, what starts as a prescription for legitimate illnesses quickly becomes an addiction to drugs marketed as "non-addictive" by big pharmaceutical companies. "I knew people that were just going to doctors, multiple doctors, and getting crazy amounts of pills", says former addict Danny Haley. Like many others, he became hooked on the legal drugs containing oxycodone, which make these painkillers very similar to heroin. When the authorities cracked down on easy prescriptions, heroin addiction quickly took its place. From 2010 to 2012, Heroin related deaths increased 84% in New York City. Staten Island in New York was one of the first areas of modern American suburbia. Now it has one of the worst prescription drug problems in the US. Getting hold of heroin here is not only cheaper than sourcing opiate-based painkillers, it's just as quick and easy as ordering a pizza. A pattern of people with no history of drug abuse killed by their addictions has prompted outrage and lingering questions on the role of some doctors and pharmaceutical companies' role in the epidemic.

Opiods are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year making them the most lethal drugs in America. For many, what starts as a prescription for legitimate illnesses quickly becomes an addiction to drugs marketed as "non-addictive" by big pharmaceutical companies. "I knew people that were just going to doctors, multiple doctors, and getting crazy amounts of pills", says former addict Danny Haley. Like many others, he became hooked on the legal drugs containing oxycodone, which make these painkillers very similar to heroin. When the authorities cracked down on easy prescriptions, heroin addiction quickly took its place. From 2010 to 2012, Heroin related deaths increased 84% in New York City. Staten Island in New York was one of the first areas of modern American suburbia. Now it has one of the worst prescription drug problems in the US. Getting hold of heroin here is not only cheaper than sourcing opiate-based painkillers, it's just as quick and easy as ordering a pizza. A pattern of people with no history of drug abuse killed by their addictions has prompted outrage and lingering questions on the role of some doctors and pharmaceutical companies' role in the epidemic.

HeroinThe Drug: Heroin Secrets
Heroin Documentary
Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring opiate extracted from the seedpod of certain varieties of poppy plants. The opium poppy has been cultivated for more than five thousand years for a variety of medicinal uses.
Heroin was first synthesized from morphine in 1874. From 1898 through to 1910, Bayer, the German pharmaceutical company, marketed it under the trademark name Heroin as a cough suppressant and as a non-addictive morphine substitute (until it was discovered that it rapidly metabolizes into morphine). One year after beginning sales, Bayer exported heroin to 23 countries
Heroin Facts:
People who use heroin regularly are likely to develop a physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms (“cold turkey”) may begin within 6 to 24 hours of discontinuation of the drug; however, this time frame can fluctuate with the degree of tolerance as well as the amount of the last consumed dose. Symptoms may include sweating, anxiety, depression, chills, severe muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Street heroin is rarely pure and may range from a white to dark brown powder of varying consistency. Such differences typically reflect the impurities remaining from the manufacturing process and/or the presence of additional substances. These "cuts" are often sugar, starch, powdered milk and occasionally other drugs, which are added to provide filler.
Heroin is manufactured from opium poppies cultivated in four primary source areas: South America, Southeast andSouthwest Asia, and Mexico. Although Afghanistan produces the majority of the world's heroin, South American heroin has become the most prevalent type available in the U.S., particularly in the Northeast, South and Midwest. The particular form known as "black tar" from Mexico, a less pure form of heroin, is more commonly found in the western and southwestern United States. This heroin may be sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal, with its color varying from dark brown to black.
The chance of surviving an overdose, like that of surviving a heart attack, depends greatly on how fast one receives medical assistance. Multiple studies show that most deaths actually occur one to three hours after the victim has initially ingested or injected drugs. The time that elapses before an overdose becomes a fatality presents a vital opportunity to intervene and seek medical help. The best way to encourage overdose witnesses to seek medical help is to exempt them from arrest, an approach often referred to as 911Good Samaritan immunity laws.
The use of "dirty" or shared needles when injecting heroin can spread deadly infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Injecting drugs and/or sharing needles can contribute to other diseases and conditions that may be serious or even life threatening, including endocarditis, embolism or blood clot, botulism, tetanus, and flesh-eating bacteria. Finally, injecting may cause abscesses (a painful skin inflammation) that, in turn, may result in blood poisoning.

Gwen Olsen — INDUSTRY’S INFLUENCE IN MEDICINE DUPED, DOPED AND DYING IN AMERICA
On December 2, 2004, Gwen Olsen's niece Megan committed suicide by setting herself on fire-and ended her tortured life as a victim of the adverse effects of prescription drugs. Gwen Olsen offers an honest glimpse into alarming statistics and a health care system ranked last among nineteen industrialized nations worldwide. As a former sales representative in the pharmaceutical industry for several years, Olsen learned first hand how an unprecedented number of lethal drugs are unleashed in the United States market, but her most heartrending education into the dangers of antidepressants would come as a victim and ultimately, as a survivor. Gwen Olsen shares one woman's unforgettable journey of faith, forgiveness, and healing.

Though the drug was highly effective, patients soon began to report bizarre dreams, hallucinations, and feelings of unreality. When South African tabloids started to run stories of efavirenz-motivated rapes and robberies, scientists began to seriously study how efavirenz might produce these unexpected hallucinogenic effects.

A resurgence of heroin use, complicated by prescription pain-killer abuse, has dramatically risen in the last few years. The consequences, including a number of overdose deaths, have devastated a range of communities across Minnesota.
This half-hour documentary explores some of the history, science, and social factors of opiate addiction. The voices of those in treatment and recovery are woven into analysis from some of Minnesota's leading thinkers on the deadly rise of heroin and opiate use in the state.
Co-produced by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and Twin Cities Public Television.

ADDICTS LIVES MATTERThe DoctorsTime Bomb (OxyContin) and how we got here. How Pharmaceutical sales reps lied, bribed and pushed OxyContin on to Doctors for profit. How they deliberately covered up and said it wasn't addictive. How they persuaded Doctors to continue prescribing OxyContin by buying their way into their pockets with money, gifts, expensive dinner and trips.
It was touted as a miracle pill: a narcotic pain reliever that could change the lives of people suffering from chronic pain, but with little -- so its maker claimed, and thousands of doctors believed -- risk of addiction.
Since OxyContin was introduced in 1996, Canada has recorded the second-highest number of prescription opioid painkiller addictions -- and the world's second-highest death rate from overdoses.
"It's helping your pain, but then you get immune to it, so then you go to the family doctor and he says 'Well, you're gonna need more,'" a woman who became addicted to OxyContin tells the fifth estate's Linden MacIntyre. "So he puts you on the 40 milligram (dose) and you're on that for a month, and then you get used to that dose and he puts you on the 80s."
But how did a little pill that only appeared in 1996 become so big, so fast? In 1998, Canadian sales were just a few million dollars. Twelve years later they had soared to $243 million. In theU.S., sales were $3.5 billion in 2010. Though there were differences in corporate style and legal structure between Purdue in the U.S and in Canada, a similar marketing approach proved wildly successful. the fifth estate examines why medical schools, GPs and specialists in pain clinics readily embraced the drug at first, and why some have now changed their minds.
OxyContin was dropped from provincial health plans in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Atlantic Canada. The manufacturer has now stopped making it altogether, replacing it with a new formulation known as OxyNeo. But is it too little, too late? Did the drug's maker low-ball the risks? Did they know their time-release miracle pill was really a time bomb of addiction, waiting to go off?

Behind the recent flurry of headlines about a massive surge in heroin use is a much more widespread wave of addiction to legal opioids—OxyContin, Vicodin and other painkillers.
One recent study found that 4 in 5 heroin users previously abused prescription opioids. In the last 15 years, at least 100,000 people have died from prescription opioid abuse.
Last fall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a powerful, new painkiller called Zohydro, a pure form of hydrocodone that contains five to 10 times the opiate level of Vicodin. The FDA approved Zohydro even though its own advisory committee voted 11 to 2 against approval, citing the drug’s potential to exacerbate the opioid abuse epidemic.
Fault Lines examines the opioid epidemic in the U.S., and asks whether federal drug policy privileges Big Pharma’s bottom line over larger concerns of public health.

Fentanyl
Vicodin
Norco
Percocet
Heroin
Demerol
Opana
Dilaudid
One of the major benefits of cannabis over pharmaceuticals is that it is not as addictive as most pain and anti-convulsive medication are. Many people cannot handle the very powerful man-made drugs that are generally prescribed for chronic conditions, like fentanyl, oxycontins, morphine and anti-convulsive medication. The side effects of these strong drugs are also cause for concern.
Synthetic drugs are very expensive, and with our over-burdened health system, cannabis is potentially healing to our pocket-books as well as our bodies. Opiate abuse and addiction is one of the largest problems facing our youth and it doesn't help to have these prescription drugs an unquestioned component of our health system, while a natural and affordable alternative is available.
With cannabis, people are often able to get off pharmaceuticals all together, or to substantially reduce the amounts they need.

EXPRESS | PUNJAB
￼￼￼￼ExpressPunjab is a documentary, which looks at the region of Punjab, firmly in a grip of a drug epidemic with a staggering 70% of its youth, estimated to be on drugs. India and Pakistan maybe at war but there is a commercial relationship that binds them with a drug route starting from Afghanistan to Pakistan and then Punjab ending up in the big cities of India. And with every 3rd family in Punjab having relatives in the UK/Europe or USA sending money home to their families they are unwittingly sending money for drugs and not food.
￼The truth is that Punjab is in a grip of a drug epidemic – and a main university in route on the borders discovering where the region has claimed that a staggering 70% are estimated to be on drugs such as
they come from, who are the suppliers heroin, smack and pharmaceutical medical drugs. It is a problem that is and who are the addicts. The threatening the future of the next generation
From the ages of 17 – 87 the Punjabi men are destroying their lives and their families as this problem continues to be brushed under the carpet by a state that is in total denial.
Express | Punjab takes a hard-hitting look at this phenomenon asking difficult questions such as why is this happening? How is it happening? What are the legal authorities doing to stem the tide of this ever-increasing crime? And to what extent is the police turning a blind eye and in some cases even colluding with the drug dealers?
￼
￼A Man who lost his Son - The documentary looks at the real human suffering that drug users cause and how their actions destroyed their families and relationships.

EXPRESS | PUNJAB
￼￼￼￼ExpressPunjab is a documentary, which looks at the region of Punjab, firmly in a grip of a drug epidemic with a staggering 70% of its youth, estimated to be on drugs. India and Pakistan maybe at war but there is a commercial relationship that binds them with a drug route starting from Afghanistan to Pakistan and then Punjab ending up in the big cities of India. And with every 3rd family in Punjab having relatives in the UK/Europe or USA sending money home to their families they are unwittingly sending money for drugs and not food.
￼The truth is that Punjab is in a grip of a drug epidemic – and a main university in route on the borders discovering where the region has claimed that a staggering 70% are estimated to be on drugs such as
they come from, who are the suppliers heroin, smack and pharmaceutical medical drugs. It is a problem that is and who are the addicts. The threatening the future of the next generation
From the ages of 17 – 87 the Punjabi men are destroying their lives and their families as this problem continues to be brushed under the carpet by a state that is in total denial.
Express | Punjab takes a hard-hitting look at this phenomenon asking difficult questions such as why is this happening? How is it happening? What are the legal authorities doing to stem the tide of this ever-increasing crime? And to what extent is the police turning a blind eye and in some cases even colluding with the drug dealers?

￼A Man who lost his Son - The documentary looks at the real human suffering that drug users cause and how their actions destroyed their families and relationships.

The President has declared the opioid epidemic a national emergency. Overdoses involving heroin and pharmaceutical opioids killed more people last year than guns or car accidents, and are doing so at a pace faster than the H.I.V. epidemic at its peak. Has this widespread use of opioids and heroin taken hold in our Islands? Fifteen years ago we were the crystal meth capital of the country. Have we made any progress in shedding that dubious distinction?

Second video of the Behind the BusinessSeries.
Bayer is a German multinational chemical, pharmaceutical and life sciences company. Bayer's primary areas of business include human and veterinary pharmaceuticals; consumer healthcare products; agricultural chemicals and biotechnology products; and high value polymers.
Bayer's first and best known product was aspirin. Bayer trademarked the name "heroin" for the drug diacetylmorphine and marketed it as a cough suppressant and non-addictive substitute for morphine from 1898 to 1910.
It was part of IG Farben, the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical company, from 1925 to 1952. During World War II, IG Farben used slave labor in factories that it built adjacent to German concentration camps, notably Auschwitz. After World War II, the Allies broke up IG Farben and Bayer reappeared as an individual business "inheriting" many of IG Farben's assets.
In May 2016, Bayer offered to buy U.S. seeds company Monsanto for $62 billion. Bayer attempted to purchase Monsanto again for $66 billion in September 2016, Monsanto accepted this bid and the merger is pending approval.

The Most Shocking Old Time Medical Practices

A Look Back At Old-Time Medicine
Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/9CwQhg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
When we are ill, we go to a doctor for treatment. We have a certain amount of confidence and security when seeing a doctor because they have gone through years of medical school and are considered to be experts in their field. While medical malpractice is something that happens occasionally, it can be confidently stated that doctors nowadays pretty much know what they’re doing. It can be comforting to think about the destination, but it’s disturbing to think about the journey. Doctors were not always as competent as they are today, and medical practices have been fine-tuned due to trial and error.
Back in medieval times, it was believed that blood was the cause of many diseases and illnesses, and one of the most popular health treatments was a practice called, “bloodletting” which involved cutting a vein or leeching an arm and letting their blood pour out into a bowl. Of course, today we know that blood is crucial to life, health, and survival. In this same time period when the bubonic plague was spreading, because it was believed it could be caught by smelly vapors, doctors were recommended to people that they use a “therapeutic stink” to combat the illness. This involved smell feces and farts (which they kept in jars).
Drugs that we would consider to be highly illegal today were used as medical treatments up until the mid-twentieth century. Heroin was a popular treatment, with the term coined by Bayer, and used in cough syrup. Bayer marketed their heroin cough syrup as non-addictive. The product took off with such popularity (gee, we wonder why), that there were elixirs, tablets, and laced water put out on the market to meet demand. Speaking of ingredients that probably weren’t a good idea, radioactive water was believed to stimulate cells, prevent aging, and help cure common ailments. Today, we know better, but the water was sold and even used in chocolates, contraceptives, suppositories, and toothpaste. Finally, mercury was a common medication prescribed, despite the fact that numerous patients died from organ failure caused by mercury poisoning.
Then we have old time medical treatments that just make us scratch our heads. Methods like the “whirling chair”, which involved spinning the patient until they passed out, was believed to help cure mental illnesses but repositioning and changing the pattern of the brain. Human organs were also used as medical treatments. Crushed skull was used as spot treatment for headaches and human fat was used as a remedy for muscle pain. Finally, we have the barbaric practice of the lobotomy. A man by the name of Walter Freeman developed the ice pick lobotomy as a treatment for mental illnesses, and the practice was forced upon numerous mental patients. While a few supposedly got better after the procedure, the majority of the victims were permanently changed and struggled to live and adapt to society after the surgery.
Today, we can be glad that none of these medical practices are no longer conducted. But, we have to wonder, will people of the future be laughing at how we treated our medical ailments and call us barbaric one day?

Opiods are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year making them the most lethal drugs in America. For many, what starts as a prescription for legitimate illnesses quickly becomes an addiction to drugs marketed as "non-addictive" by big pharmaceutical companies. "I knew people that were just going to doctors, multiple doctors, and getting crazy amounts of pills", says former addict Danny Haley. Like many others, he became hooked on the legal drugs containing oxycodone, which make these painkillers very similar to heroin. When the authorities cracked down on easy prescriptions, heroin addiction quickly took its place. From 2010 to 2012, Heroin related deaths increased 84% in New York City. Staten Island in New York was one of the first areas of modern American suburbia. Now it has one of the worst prescription drug problems in the US. Getting hold of heroin here is not only cheaper than sourcing opiate-based painkillers, it's just as quick and easy as ordering a pizza. A pattern of people with no history of drug abuse killed by their addictions has prompted outrage and lingering questions on the role of some doctors and pharmaceutical companies' role in the epidemic.

Like many others, he became hooked on the legal drugs containing oxycodone, which make these painkillers very similar to heroin. When the authorities cracked down on easy prescriptions, heroin addiction quickly took its place. From 2010 to 2012, Heroin related deaths increased 84% in New York City. Staten Island in New York was one of the first areas of modern American suburbia. Now it has one of the worst prescription drug problems in the US. Getting hold of heroin here is not only cheaper than sourcing opiate-based painkillers, it's just as quick and easy as ordering a pizza. A pattern of people with no history of drug abuse killed by their addictions has prompted outrage and lingering questions on the role of some doctors and pharmaceutical companies' role in the epidemic.

Heroin The Drug: Heroin Secrets

HeroinThe Drug: Heroin Secrets
Heroin Documentary
Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring opiate extracted from the seedpod of certain varieties of poppy plants. The opium poppy has been cultivated for more than five thousand years for a variety of medicinal uses.
Heroin was first synthesized from morphine in 1874. From 1898 through to 1910, Bayer, the German pharmaceutical company, marketed it under the trademark name Heroin as a cough suppressant and as a non-addictive morphine substitute (until it was discovered that it rapidly metabolizes into morphine). One year after beginning sales, Bayer exported heroin to 23 countries
Heroin Facts:
People who use heroin regularly are likely to develop a physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms (“cold turkey”) may begin within 6 to 24 hours of discontinuation of the drug; however, this time frame can fluctuate with the degree of tolerance as well as the amount of the last consumed dose. Symptoms may include sweating, anxiety, depression, chills, severe muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Street heroin is rarely pure and may range from a white to dark brown powder of varying consistency. Such differences typically reflect the impurities remaining from the manufacturing process and/or the presence of additional substances. These "cuts" are often sugar, starch, powdered milk and occasionally other drugs, which are added to provide filler.
Heroin is manufactured from opium poppies cultivated in four primary source areas: South America, Southeast andSouthwest Asia, and Mexico. Although Afghanistan produces the majority of the world's heroin, South American heroin has become the most prevalent type available in the U.S., particularly in the Northeast, South and Midwest. The particular form known as "black tar" from Mexico, a less pure form of heroin, is more commonly found in the western and southwestern United States. This heroin may be sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal, with its color varying from dark brown to black.
The chance of surviving an overdose, like that of surviving a heart attack, depends greatly on how fast one receives medical assistance. Multiple studies show that most deaths actually occur one to three hours after the victim has initially ingested or injected drugs. The time that elapses before an overdose becomes a fatality presents a vital opportunity to intervene and seek medical help. The best way to encourage overdose witnesses to seek medical help is to exempt them from arrest, an approach often referred to as 911Good Samaritan immunity laws.
The use of "dirty" or shared needles when injecting heroin can spread deadly infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Injecting drugs and/or sharing needles can contribute to other diseases and conditions that may be serious or even life threatening, including endocarditis, embolism or blood clot, botulism, tetanus, and flesh-eating bacteria. Finally, injecting may cause abscesses (a painful skin inflammation) that, in turn, may result in blood poisoning.

Gwen Olsen — INDUSTRY’S INFLUENCE IN MEDICINE DUPED, DOPED AND DYING IN AMERICA
On December 2, 2004, Gwen Olsen's niece Megan committed suicide by setting herself on fire-and ended her tortured life as a victim of the adverse effects of prescription drugs. Gwen Olsen offers an honest glimpse into alarming statistics and a health care system ranked last among nineteen industrialized nations worldwide. As a former sales representative in the pharmaceutical industry for several years, Olsen learned first hand how an unprecedented number of lethal drugs are unleashed in the United States market, but her most heartrending education into the dangers of antidepressants would come as a victim and ultimately, as a survivor. Gwen Olsen shares one woman's unforgettable journey of faith, forgiveness, and healing.

In 1998, the antiretroviral drug efavirenz was approved for treatment of HIV infection. Though the drug was highly effective, patients soon began to report bizarre dreams, hallucinations, and feelings of unreality. When South African tabloids started to run stories of efavirenz-motivated rapes and robberies, scientists began to seriously study how efavirenz might produce these unexpected hallucinogenic effects.
Hamilton Morris travels to South Africa to interview efavirenz users and dealers and study how the life-saving medicine became part of a dangerous cocktail called "nyaope."

HEROIN at Home: Rise of Opiate Use in Minnesota

A resurgence of heroin use, complicated by prescription pain-killer abuse, has dramatically risen in the last few years. The consequences, including a number of overdose deaths, have devastated a range of communities across Minnesota.
This half-hour documentary explores some of the history, science, and social factors of opiate addiction. The voices of those in treatment and recovery are woven into analysis from some of Minnesota's leading thinkers on the deadly rise of heroin and opiate use in the state.
Co-produced by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and Twin Cities Public Television.

HEROIN: The Doctors Time Bomb (OxyContin)

ADDICTS LIVES MATTERThe DoctorsTime Bomb (OxyContin) and how we got here. How Pharmaceutical sales reps lied, bribed and pushed OxyContin on to Doctors for profit. How they deliberately covered up and said it wasn't addictive. How they persuaded Doctors to continue prescribing OxyContin by buying their way into their pockets with money, gifts, expensive dinner and trips.
It was touted as a miracle pill: a narcotic pain reliever that could change the lives of people suffering from chronic pain, but with little -- so its maker claimed, and thousands of doctors believed -- risk of addiction.
Since OxyContin was introduced in 1996, Canada has recorded the second-highest number of prescription opioid painkiller addictions -- and the world's second-highest death rate from overdoses.
"It's helping your pain, but then you get immune to it, so then you go to the family doctor and he says 'Well, you're gonna need more,'" a woman who became addicted to OxyContin tells the fifth estate's Linden MacIntyre. "So he puts you on the 40 milligram (dose) and you're on that for a month, and then you get used to that dose and he puts you on the 80s."
But how did a little pill that only appeared in 1996 become so big, so fast? In 1998, Canadian sales were just a few million dollars. Twelve years later they had soared to $243 million. In theU.S., sales were $3.5 billion in 2010. Though there were differences in corporate style and legal structure between Purdue in the U.S and in Canada, a similar marketing approach proved wildly successful. the fifth estate examines why medical schools, GPs and specialists in pain clinics readily embraced the drug at first, and why some have now changed their minds.
OxyContin was dropped from provincial health plans in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Atlantic Canada. The manufacturer has now stopped making it altogether, replacing it with a new formulation known as OxyNeo. But is it too little, too late? Did the drug's maker low-ball the risks? Did they know their time-release miracle pill was really a time bomb of addiction, waiting to go off?

Opioid Wars - Fault Lines

Behind the recent flurry of headlines about a massive surge in heroin use is a much more widespread wave of addiction to legal opioids—OxyContin, Vicodin and other painkillers.
One recent study found that 4 in 5 heroin users previously abused prescription opioids. In the last 15 years, at least 100,000 people have died from prescription opioid abuse.
Last fall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a powerful, new painkiller called Zohydro, a pure form of hydrocodone that contains five to 10 times the opiate level of Vicodin. The FDA approved Zohydro even though its own advisory committee voted 11 to 2 against approval, citing the drug’s potential to exacerbate the opioid abuse epidemic.
Fault Lines examines the opioid epidemic in the U.S., and asks whether federal drug policy privileges Big Pharma’s bottom line over larger concerns of public health.
